Unseen,

Both with his anti-Israel and his pro-Socialist worldviews, Bernie thinks that the alligator will never get to him. Same likewise with the Orthodoxers, Jewish Voice for Peace, “The Squad,” and Queers For Palestine.

They can be masochistic and suicidal if they want, but don’t drag anybody else along for the ride.

Okay, here’s an argument against the possibility of p-zombies. I’m not saying whether or not I accept it. I do wonder about it.

Let’s take two men in parallel worlds. Let’s call him Joe Smith. Joe in World A is a regular human. Joe in World B is a p-zombie.

In World A, Joe is a widower whose beloved wife recently died suddenly from bacterial…[Read more]

Bernie Sander is a Jew. He’s not a weekly synagogue attendee and is not a practicing Jew in any sense, but he is Jewish en0ugh for most rabid antisimites for being the child of a Polish Jew. So, he is a Jew in the way we refer to both practicing and ethnic Jewish people.

Enco,

It does not count unless Jews are seen as the transgressors. It’s been obvious for a long time. Now after october 7 the lefty cult of jew hatred is hitting anyone who is looking with a cudgel. You can find endless examples like you’ve cited and far far worse.

Those believers will have to believe in a weird logic that embraces nonsense because omnipotence and omniscience are incompatible in the sense that a…[Read more]

Does the prospect of many possible futures fit in with your view of hard determinism?

I believe that effects have causes, which normally are effects themselves of sufficient causes which sometimes (very rarely for sure) are random or the result of chaos. If hard determinism is that everything on the level where…[Read more]
